This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Is this happening anywhere outside US? Because every American radio station, TV program, podcast etc. seems to be fiiled to the brim with these annoying sound effects, ads, and with obnoxious testoreone imbued speaker.

And I don't remember encountering it anywhere in Europe.

I haven't listened to radio in >10 years, but back in the day they had a bunch of pre-recorded station ID messages like this in Germany, France and some African countries.

Yeah I think every radio station uses these pre-recorded snippets, but they are usually rather mild and they serve to remind you that "yup, you're still listening to our radio btw, ok bye"
